psolve: Solve a Convex Optimization Problem

Description

Solves the problem and returns the optimal objective value. After solving, variable values can be retrieved with value, constraint dual values with dual_value, and solver information with solver_stats.

Usage

psolve(
  problem,
  solver = NULL,
  gp = FALSE,
  qcp = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  warm_start = FALSE,
  requires_grad = FALSE,
  nlp = FALSE,
  enforce_dpp = FALSE,
  ignore_dpp = FALSE,
  solver_path = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

The optimal objective value (numeric scalar), or Inf / -Inf for infeasible / unbounded problems.

Arguments

problem

A Problem object.

solver

Character string naming the solver to use (e.g., "CLARABEL", "SCS", "OSQP", "HIGHS"), or NULL for automatic selection.

gp

Logical; if TRUE, solve as a geometric program (DGP).

qcp

Logical; if TRUE, solve as a quasiconvex program (DQCP) via bisection. Only needed for non-DCP DQCP problems.

verbose

Logical; if TRUE, print solver output.

warm_start

Logical; if TRUE, use the current variable values as a warm-start point for the solver.

requires_grad

Logical; if TRUE, route the solve through the DIFFCP wrapper so backward() / derivative() can recover gradients.

nlp

Logical; if TRUE, solve the problem as a disciplined nonlinear program (DNLP) using the NLP reduction chain and an NLP solver (e.g. "UNO"). The problem must satisfy is_dnlp().

enforce_dpp

Logical; if TRUE, raise an error when a parametrized problem is not DPP instead of compiling it as non-DPP.

ignore_dpp

Logical; if TRUE, treat a DPP problem as non-DPP (skip the DPP fast path).

solver_path

Optional fallback chain. A character vector of solver names or a list whose entries are either character names or length-2 list(name, opts) pairs. Each solver is tried in sequence; the first that succeeds returns its result. If every solver fails, a SolverError-classed condition is raised with the per-solver error messages. Cannot be combined with solver. Mirrors CVXPY's solver_path argument.

...

Solver options passed to solver_opts(). Includes chain-construction options (use_quad_obj), standard tolerances (feastol, reltol, abstol, num_iter), and solver-specific parameters (e.g., eps_abs, scip_params). See solver_opts for details. For DQCP problems (qcp = TRUE), additional arguments include low, high, eps, max_iters, and max_iters_interval_search.
